And Now For a Word

Corwin gets a name in this ep, and a rank. Introduced as Second
Lieutenant David Corwin. Still credited as Tech #1.

Corwin is being interviewed by Cynthia Torqueman (CT). Ivanova is
lurking in the background, listening as she stands at the dome. Her
reactions are a joy to watch.

COR -"Overall, I've found this to be a good working environment and a
valuable experience. I've learned a lot while I've been here."

CT - "And you've never felt that your" (Ivanova crosses arms and looks
at Corwin) "safety has been compromised?"

COR - "No Ma'am."

CT - "So this has been a positive experience for you?"

He smiles and nods a little

CT - "You enjoy working with everyone?"

He sort of looks behind him towards Ivanova a little nervously. He
knows that she is listening, and he breaks into a rather fake smile which
fades quickly. "Yes. It's a calm, pleasant environment. I don't think
I've seen anyone get upset here." (He's all wide eyed innocence.)

CT is in C&C, harping about things calming down. An alarm starts sounding.

Ivanova whirls to Corwin (in bowl). "What is it?"

COR - "Jump point forming in sector 7."

IV - "Are they crazy? That's practically on top of us!"

The jump point opens and -

COR - "Reading one Centauri battlecruiser."

CT runs around, shot of Centauri ship jumping in....

COR - "I've got Ambassador Mollari on the link."

IV - "Put him through!"

Mollari makes threats.

COR - "Centauri cruiser is arming weapons, opening her gunports."

Mollari announces blockade of B5.

COR (in background of CT talking) - "Channel open, Captain."

Sheridan makes his speech, announcing intent to defend all ships toing
and froing B5. At the end, he turns to Corwin and says "If they send a
reply, don't acknowledge it."
